Anastasio Yuriar Viera (Clemente<\/a>)
Born:<\/em> Abt May 1873
Christened:<\/em> 19 May 1873 in San Ignacio De Loyola, San Ignacio, Sinaloa, Mexico<\/a>.
Died:<\/em> Nov 8, 1944<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The son of Clemente Yuriar<\/a> & Trinidad Viera<\/a>, he was a hat maker in Culiac\u00e1n. His store was called “El Sombrero Rojo”. His nickname, Tacho, likely comes from his occupation. “Tacho<\/a>” refers to a bin, perhaps like one that could be used in the felt-making process.  Fun fact: Mercury was used in the felt-making process<\/a> to smooth the felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early January 1910, Anastacio was introduced to Francisco Madero.  Senor Madero must have made quite an impression, because  Tacho helped to form the Culiac\u00e1n branch of Madero’s political party, the Partido Nacional Antireelectionistas<\/a>.  While his brother Benjamin<\/a> was fighting with Villa to free Mexico from the grip of Porfirio D\u00edaz, Anastasio choose to fight Porfirio D\u00edaz in the political arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had 2 children with Librada Canavallis – Ricardo, and Maria Matlide. Librada and Anastasio had a falling out.  She took the kids and left, eventually immigrating to the US. Maria Matilde died during the journey to America. Ricardo’s son Jon lives in CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anastasio also had several children with Joaquina Manjerrez. He married her in March of 1919. According to their marriage license, they already had 3 daughters when they got married – Maria Lousia, Maria Elisa, & Maria Rosa. After they married, they had several more children – Anastasio, Maria Carmen, Maria Aurora, and Julio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family folklore has always said that he served as Mayor of Culiac\u00e1n for a while.  However, according to the city’s website<\/a>, he was never mayor. A pamphlet about the history of Culiac\u00e1n states that in December 1917 he lost an election for a council seat due to election fraud. The state congress appointed a someone else to disputed seat, however it’s possible that he won election as a councilman later in life.  We do know that he was a delegate for something to do with farmers and agriculture in 1944 when he was shot & killed by someone named Lencho.  Lencho was caught and imprisoned for his crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“En una de tantas asambleas hizo acto de presencia don Lencho. Como buen manejador de armas dio muerte a balazos al joven delegado de la Agraria, que en vida llev\u00f3 el nombre de Anastacio Yuriar (era culichi). Cuando el malechor lleg\u00f3 a la asamblea la mayor\u00eda de los asistentes escucharon voz de s\u00faplica: “\u00a1No lo hagas, Lencho!”. Sobr\u00f3 quien dijera que fue do\u00f1a Serafina. El malechor fue castigado; su condena fue prisi\u00f3n.”  (quote from an article at debate.com.mx<\/a> that has since been memory-holed.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
